I'm actually doing OK on the job front. Without getting too much in the nitty gritty, my company managed to renegotiate their contract with the people who make the phones I sell. In the short term, that means I get full time hours from now 'til the end of the year with them not particularly caring if I go over. I'm seriously considering asking for a ten hour shift on Black Friday.

For the long term, scuttlebutt is that full time positions are going to be created courtesy of the more generous contract and my boss has me at the top of her list!

All excellent news! So, why do I feel like the bottom is going to drop out? Not a rational thought, I know, but I can't completely shake it.
